Marie Harf Defends Obama's Aid to Hezb'allah
American Thinker.com ^ | December 21, 2017 | Daniel John Sobieski

Only someone who worked in Hillary Clinton’s State Department and thought giving ISIS summer jobs would stop their beheadings and terrorist attacks could dispute Josh Meyer’s lengthy, well-researched article in Politico detailing “how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook” by undermining his own government’s efforts to take down the terrorist group’s drug trafficking operations:

“I was part of the negotiating team that got the Iran nuclear deal done,” the former Obama State Department spokeswoman told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday.

“Until Politico wrote this piece, I had never even heard of this program. You know, the Politico story, this narrative in it is just false. And there’s no evidence in this story to back up their allegations,” Harf said. “They quote a couple of low level ideological sources who clearly don’t like the Iran deal, but everything I know just doesn’t back up this narrative.”…

This story is a hit job, honestly, with no truth behind it,” Harf said.

Meyer reacted to Harf’s comments in an appearance with Fox News’ Shannon Bream, stating that her claim that his sources were “low-level” people was “sort of ridiculous.”

“They were not ideologues. They are not flawed. I don’t know what she’s talking about,” Meyer said. “These were the people, one was a Pentagon person, one was a DEA person. But I also talked to many, many dozens of other people to get sort of ground truth and see what their allegations were held up to the light of day. So this is not a story in 14,000 words where I was just taking spin from some people.”

Harf-wit left Fedzilla with her last boss, John Kerry. She now exclusively services Fox News bigwigs.

Maybe it’s just “too nuanced” for someone of lesser smartitude than Harf to understand.

If you go back a few years, the reason Harf got a job at the State Department and eventually became the Department Spokesperson is because her Daddy was a big time Democrat Donor.

Harf calling the piece a hit job? What’s next - calling Politico a ‘right wing organization’ ?

The headline does not match the article. She doesn’t defend Obama’s aid to Hezbollah, she denies it.

Putting Marie Harf on Fox was one of the most underappreciated, brilliant ideas, ever. Her appearances guarantee that anyone who watches her talk will be voting for the ‘R’ in any election . . . she defines dumb blonde to a T.

Do tell? And I always figured she got the job because she was banging John Kerry

HarF and Brain..... are apparently mutually-exclusive concepts

I can’t imagine being Mattis and working under the previous administration. He hates Hezbollah. As more crud is revealed about the admin., I am not surprised that they let Mattis go in the way they did. I wish he would tell me what he said to earn that. Anyway, glad he is where he is now.

““We cannot win this war by killing them — we cannot kill our way out of this war,” she said. Instead, she argued that the United States and its allies need to focus on the “root causes,” such as the lack of job opportunities for young Muslims. She said discouraged 17-year-olds opt to “pick up an AK-47 instead of trying to start a business” due to their socioeconomic situation.”

This goofball needs to move to Canada and work for Trudeau

My liberal parents will hear none of it until they perp-walk Obama. Since that will never happen, serious liberals will never believe it.

Her constant and inappropriate giggles betray any claim to superior intellect.
